House swap! Gareth Bale views Mesut Ozil's £1m house in Madrid
GARETH BALE'S world-record transfer to Real forced Mesut Ozil's deadline day switch to Arsenal - and now the Welshman could be set to move into his upmarket Madrid mansion.
Ozil left the Spanish capital for North London in a £43million deal after Bale wrapped up his protracted £86m move the other way.
And Bale could add insult to injury by purchasing the German international's £1m property in Madrid.
Reports suggest Bale and his partner Emma have viewed Ozil's former pad in Madrid's swanky La Moraleja district.
Estate agents have put the property on the market available for rent or sale, in the same area where Cristiano Ronaldo lives.
Ozil is now looking for a new place in London, as he looks to settle at Arsenal.
Bale is set to make his Champions League bow for Real tonight at Galatasaray, while Ozil could feature for Arsenal in Marseille.
